Design 21 has announced the winners of their “Language Matters” competition geared to promote linguistic diversity and multilingualism.

"Languages are essential to the identity of groups and individuals and to their peaceful coexistence. Only if multilingualism is fully accepted can all languages find their place in our globalized world. However, within the space of a few generations, more than 50% of the 7,000 languages spoken in the world may disappear. We must act now as a matter of urgency."
